PASSIONATE LITERATURE.

Amelie Rives' story, "Arnon," in the November .number of Harpers' Magozine, is beautiful piece of ori- ental work, perfumed with roses, bor- dered with lilies and impassioned with the warm breath of an ethereally beautiful maiden, whose blood, as she gazsd into the eyes of her lover, flew to her face and neck; and, in the lan- guage of the writer, the white dove which she held against her bosom looked like a sail against the morning sky when the east is rosy. The story burns with the deepest passion, pas sion which would be out of place in a society novel, and which, to enjoy it's glowing and moist-eyed prerogstive, must seek an extremely oriental field. Miss Rives is only twenty three years old, but so able is she in her blushing bosom delineations that Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the poetess, should pick her fiints that she may strike more fire. The literature of man is turning to science and the quiet chimncy-corner of realism, but the fiction of woman is growing more and more passionate. When we see those blushes that burn modesty in a roaring furnace of seven- times heated passion, we must shut our eyes upon the sensational and ad- mire the art. We must not contem- plate the nudity of statue, but must worship it's trueness to life. Just how we can discover its trueuess without contemplating its nudity, we have not discovered, nor do we intend to settle down into a perplexing analysis. Go ahead, young ladies-go ahead and show the world how warm your hearts are. Warm your ink and write with a pen heated in the flame of an oriental lamp.

CHEATING THE BALLoT-BOx.

"Folks oughter be rested fur cheat in de ballock- box dat way!" ex- claimed disgusted negro who stood near voting place ill Arkansaw. An eastern man who overheard the ne- gro's denunciation, approached him and said:
 "Did you say something about the ballot box being cheated?"
 "Yas, sah, I did, an dat white man standin' ober wander is de cause O it. he is."
 Crying to grind you down, is he?"
 "Yas, sah, tryin' ter do dat fur CT scan'lous fack."
 "I think myself that it is scandal ous. It is blistering shame, can- kering sarcasm upon our institutions. This thing of robbing a man of his right of suffrage is heaping disgrace upon our government. Tell me how they treated you?"
 hOW ud CAc1tcu uc UdIlOt-DOA.
 "Yes."
 ''Wall, sah, dat w'ite man standin' ober wander come up ter me dis mawnin' an says, says ze, Saul, you ain't gwine ter vote fur dat man Scott, is yer?' Wall, yas,' says, 'Pse been thinkin' some erbout it. tDoan do it. says ze, 'an' Pll gin yer CT dollar ter vote fur MT. Sniff Dat hit me in de right place an voted fur Mir. Sniff
 "Well, but how was that cheating the ballot box?"
 "W'y, sah, de blame dollar he gin me hab got CT hole in it."

DIDN'T DICTATE.


 A tourist stopped at log-cabin to get drink of water. Noticing very lean steer near the door chewing a rag the tourist, addressing the "landlorsi," said
 "That's very icaD animal"
 "Yas, sorter."
 "Why don't you give him somc- thing to eatY"
 "Ain't he eatiB7"
 "Ycs, eating n rag"
 "Wall, cf rag suits him, all right. aiD't no man to dictate"
 "IIc'll not make very good benf."
 "iieckon not don't want him fur beef ride him."
 "Itidc him ["
 "That's what ! said. Some folks mout prefer CT hoss but want CT steer. You ougbter ses him trot. Don't low nothiD' to pass him on the road. Wy, he's ao much pearter than any of tise hosses about here that when anybody is in A hurry to 70 after a doctor they generally come here and git him."
 "I never heard of anything like that before"
 "i reckon not; an sf you stay round here very long you'll hear Q CT good many things you never heard O befo'. Never heard c ole Mat Tompson swol- ieriR A snake, did youY"
 "So.1

"Yes." said the custom officer at the hustings, "those free traders, if they had their way, would abolish all rev. enue duties. And what would follow if such condition of things should come about?"
 A thick-headed individual in one of the back seats quickly responded !:
 "Well, suppose you'd be looking about for job" This was probably not the correct answer, but the speaker found it impossible to go on with his Boston Tran- script

LIMNINGS.

A correspondent of the Poultry Journal says that he would like to know how to tell good egg. Why, nothing is easier. Take an egg be- tween the thumb and index finger of the left hand, then take a can-opener in the right hand and slightly tap the shell until it is cracked. Then place the egg under your nose and smell of it in a vigorous manner. If these directions arc carefully followed, you will not remain long ill doubt as to whether or not the egg is in a good sanitary condition.
 "But," said young western jour- nalist in reply to an assertion made by his father, who, having long since ceased to be journalist, had become a newspaper man, "there must be a professional journalism, to understand which insures us against mistake"
 "There is," said the old man.
 And can it be easily acquired?"

 "What is that?"
 "Never express an opinion"

 "Yes."

 "Yes. The Daily Wing suspended the other day, you know"

They Wanted no more Ice,

Capt. Jim Dense is responsible
for the following: A few DAYS ago,
on one Of the Southwestern trains
a couple OF young dudes called on
the train hand for a piece of ice,
saying they wanted to take a
drink. The ice was forthcoming
and the young men took their drink
forgetting to give one to the train
hand. After riding u few miles
they called for more ice which was
brought, and again the train hand
was sighted. After a while they
called on him the third time for ice,
and he paralyzed them by saying,
Boss, the baggage master says he
can't take any more ice from off
that corpse kase it'll spile." And
the train~hand's revengeful ha! ha!
was heard in the baggage car tor
above the din Of the rapidly whiIl,

HoRsLEY q CRoUCH,

Little children have some strange
ideas of things unseen which when
brought to light are really anus
ing. The Rev. B w Davis tells
a very good joke about his little
girls idea OF a delegate. She had
heard her parents talking for sew
eral days about the delegates com,
ing to the Association and noticed
great preparations being made for
them, but had no idea what they
were or what they resembled. So
when the delegates arrived and lit
tlc Pearl heard some of the older
children say "the delegates have
come" she took a look at them and
ran to her mother with the infor-
nation: Mama the delegates have
come. They are just like folks
they won't bite.
Another little girl, who had
heard her parents talk about get
ting up something for the delegates
to eat, and having seen an extra
supply of chickens brought home,
after the Association, when asked
what the delegates did, said Eat
chicken"

1t matters not at what profess
ion we look or what business we
patronize, we can find cheating and
humbuggery. The lawyer will give
you poor advice. the Doctor will
mix up a few drugs and charge
you an enormous price for it, and
the merchant will adulterate his
goods and make you pay as though
you were getting the genuine
straight goods. This humbuggery
is found more in whiskey than in
any other class OF merchandise and
it is becoming really dangerous to
drink some of the whiskies that are
put on the market. 1t man can't
